@editor And here’s another one then Mars! Might Homely consider making the Dashboard available as part of the app please? The information it provides is very helpful and is enabling users to make intelligent decisions about their heating regimes and their DHW implementation and planning (as starkers has mentioned). On top of all the useful functions, it provides good material for improving bragging rights and will enable users of Homely smart controls to bore all their friends with the advantages!😉. Regards, Toodles.

Wholeheartedly agree! While I get the point that Homely might not want to expose customers to too much information and their secret sauce takes care of the weather compensation, it still leaves a good few open questions for people who want to further optimise. Maybe hide it under an 'advanced info' tab or something to keep up the 'set and forget' mindset for the majority of users.

Hello Toodles,
I am from the Netherlands and have been reading your messages about the Homely for some time. This is because I have a Midea heat pump. Is it also possible for me to buy a Homely? I hope you can help me. Greetings Frits

Please bear in mind, @frits, that @toodles doesn’t work for Homely; he’s just built up a good relationship with them.

Welcome to the forums @frits. Yes, Homely supports Midea, but I don’t know if they sell to The Netherlands. I’ll find out.

@editor If you would like to do that for me, I would be very happy.

I have already tried to contact Homely by email, but they have not yet responded.

@frits, I spoke with Homely, and it’s not available in the Netherlands just yet. If you’re trying to reach them, the best email to use is team@homelyenergy.com – that’s the address they’ve recommended for contact.

Hello, Unfortunately, they haven't answered my email yet. I hope they continue to do this. You say that the Homely is not yet available in the Netherlands, that is correct, but they could still send 1 set. greetings

I have/had a Homely hub installed with my ASHP worse thing I've ever encountered TBH only supports a single zone (and they may/may not be looking at 2 zones sometime in the future) unless of course you want someone else to control your heating/hot water!
having listened in to a conversation between my installer and Homely it was obvious that the "customer" (me) was low priority now looking for a control system that actually does what I want.
Honest opinion not worth it right now.
